Got some brown stuff on the roots that were in the nutes. Added a cap of hydrogen peroxide to the contol rez. Also been swappin out the frozen 2-liters every 6 hours...and they have been fully melted...DAMN!!!

Thrive Alive Red, that might be part of it. I seems to gather in soft clumps. I'm hoping to get all my 3/4 drain lines and that "stuff" my boy uses in his Ebb&Gro.
Oh yeah, I was wondering how good that foam board blocks heat??? That, and how much better would that 5 gallon sport cooler work as a Control Rez vs the black bucket???

Pros recommend 3-5ml/gallon. Never felt the need to put more than a capfull tho which on the big bottle that i get is prolly equivalent to 7-10ml per bucket which prolly hold 3-4 gallons at the most during top-offs. I add mine rite from the very start of a newly set-up bucket tho maybe thats why ive never had to use more IDK.
And like Flo said discoloration of the roots is not necessarily a bad thing. My nutes always stained my roots brown. I always used Botanicaire pro series growing DWC and can say Liquid Karma will most def stain ur roots as well. If ur water doesnt stink get cloudy or develop slime then ur fine. Dont worry bout staining its natural with alot of nutes.
And Props man plants are looking like they are def bouncing back nicely just KEEP that damn wool dry as u can. The pro's say that just a simple pre soak from the start with wool is completely sufficient enuff to actually clone cuts and make them root. Would not recommend wool in DWC to anyone just for reason. The bubbles in ur water keep the hydroton plenty wet enuff for sure.
I promise u man let ur system do the work now ur plants r bout to blow the fuck up. They are still recovering from the overwatering stunt of growth. But snapping out of it.
Many props.

So I'm lookin @ 24 to 40 ml for 8 Gallons, I only added a cap full. But yeah, fuk rockwool. I like the rapid rooter plugs...would love to see larger versions though. I like them cuz they drain a lot better and they don't make you itch!!! I noticed between the 1.5 rockwool cube and the rapid rooter plugs that more roots get out faster with the plugs.

The styrofoam insulation works great.
It has a high R-value too, since it's 2 inches thick !
The 5gal cooler would def work better at controlling the temps too.

You plants are looking real good BG !
The coffee can is a good mini dwc.
Seen that one a few times.
Glad you got that flow going smoothly too.
I saw another growers thread the other day and he had all 3/4 fiitings and lines.
Thanks for the spreading the logo ! I like it too !
